I want to run my AMD A8 at maximum frequency

I'm playing a game and it seems kind of sluggish today. I noticed that my CPU runs at 960 MHz even when the game is running, and I wanted to see if I could get it to run at 2 GHz. How do I do this?

Make sure your windows power plan is set to "balanced" and if necessary reset the plan to defaults. If you are running windows 10, make sure "battery saver" is not active. If that doesn't work, try "high performance" but keep in mind it will make your PC run hot all the time and consume lots of power even when it isn't doing anything.

Okay it's working now. I accidentally unplugged the battery and when I plugged it back in it was working. XD I reset the high performance plan to defaults but I think I did that after it started working again, I can't remember.
Running it on the balanced plan now and it's working. ^_^
